Kernel Options Problem

Recommended Posts

When I use the following Kernel Options:

 

set kernel_options player1colors no_blank_lines pfcolors background

 

 

This combo should be good to go according to RT's site, but when I try to use it I get a syntax error for the line:

 

bkcolors:

 

The error is:

 

2600 Basic compilation failed!
LINE --> bkcolors :

 

Here is the code generated when I drag the playfield over to the .bas from the Projects tab on the right:

 

 

DF0FRACINC = 16
DF1FRACINC = 16
DF2FRACINC = 16
DF3FRACINC = 16
DF4FRACINC = 32
DF6FRACINC = 32
bkcolors:
$00
$8A
$8C
$8E
$86
$84
$82
$80
$40
$40
$40
$40
$40
$40
end
pfcolors:
$04
$06
$08
$0A
$0C
$0C
$0C
$0A
$08
$06
$04
end
playfield:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXX........XX........XXXXXXX
XXXXXX....................XXXXXX
XXXXXX.....................XXXXX
XXXXX......................XXXXX
XXXXX......................XXXXX
XXXXXX....................XXXXXX
XXXXXXX........XX........XXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
end

 

I'm not sure where the error is, but if I remove the background statement in the kernel options and rem everything relating to bkcolors: then the program works but generates everything else in black and white.

 

Any thoughts?

Kernel options for the standard kernel are not used with the DPC+ kernel. I'll update the page so that will be more clear.

 

Here's the DPC+ section:

And here is a kind of DPC+ template:

Oh... I hadn't realized that I strayed into DPC+ territory. I had a work around in mind that won't look as nice but I want to go simple on this project. Thanks for the heads up.
